This Is the best season of all in the Rogue valley. This
is the time we long for in January and February, when the
days are cold and dark and there is scarcely a hint of spring
in the garden and on the hills. Ibis is the time when the
days are sunny and warm, but not too hot, when the" grass
is green and the flowers bright; this is the time when we
waken to the song of the birds and the busy hum of the
spray machine in the orchard across the road. This is the
;time when it is fun to get up at 5:30 in the morning, when
.the lengthening days are still far too short to accomplish
.'all the multiple tasks in house and garden. This is-the
beginning of picnic time and
the eyes can enjoy the tracing of green leaves against a
-blue sky or linger on the far hills instead of the same four
: walls. This is the time when it is sheer, unadulterated joy
: to e alive, and outdoors and busy.
May is also a time of decision. Not world-shaking decis
ions, of course, but decisions important to the homemaker
and gardener. Today, for instance, shall we wash windows
and take the cobwebs off the walls, or shall we pull weeds
; and clip 'grass and plant petunias? In the spring battle of
house versus garden, the latter usually wins. We argue to
ourseives mai more 01 our irienas ana neignDors see tne
garden, than see the indoors of the house, and besides, we
can wash the windows inside, anyhow, on a rainy day
when it would be impossible to garden.
clay pots that hang on the little
urepiace. iasi year u was trailing Blue lobelia ana pink
petunas or was that the year before? Shall it be pink ivy
geranium and white petunias? This much is certain, what
ever the color combination, Potpourri and pappy will enjoy
them as we sit at the picnic table or rest in one of the patio
chairs.
Wednesday we bought three pairs of garden gloves one
leather, one plastic and one cotton. Pappy keeps telling us,

day's chores, before long we. decide to pull small weeds,
or transplant tiny plants and the gloves are tossed aside
bare fingers are better than gloved fingers for these tasks.
An hour later, the gloves are still on the ground, or on the
branch of a tree or hung in the convenient crotch, of a tree.
Wednesday's purchase was prompted by . the bandage,
still necessary after a week of nursing a cut on the back of
the right hand, inflicted by gardening which was more
enthusiastic than cautious, and which might have been less
serious for a gloved hand.
"We did real well on our skull practice," reported one
civil defense official aftef yesterday's simulated alert.
"The worst incident we had to cope with was a power failure
in the gymnasium. The girls hooked up too many electric
coffee pots and blew the fuses." O.S. ;

The Improved Order of Red
Men is the oldest patriotic
fraternity of purely Ameri
can origin. It traces its begin
ning back to pre-Revolution-ary
days when patriotic
groups were formed to pro
mote liberty and to establish
freedom for the colonies. The
name is derived from the pa
triots, who, to hide their
identity from the British, dis
guised themselves as ''red
men" and as such staged the
"Boston Tea Party."
Today, the order and its
auxiliary, the Degree of Poca
hontas, uphold its early tradi
tions by living up to its motto
of freedom, friendship and
charity. It takes an active part
in national civil defense, Cru
sade for Freedom, Radio Free
Europe, American Conference
to Combat Communism, boys'
and girls' clubs, Scouts and
many other local activities.
Both branches have their
youth groups, "Degree of
Hiawatha" for the young men
and "Degree of Anona" for
the girls.
Picturesque ceremonies of
the fraternity are . founded
upon the manners, customs
and traditions of the abo
riginies of the American -continent.
